Rock the World
 
I was at a party - last Friday night
With anarchists, and socialites…
College co-eds - who were doin’ it right
When a young dude, asked me for a light…
Yeah…
 
He took a toke - and passed to me
Talked about religion, and masonry…
Spoke about things - like time and space
And makin’ the Earth, a better place…
 
Well, the things we do - and the things we say
Change the world, in little ways…
The things we say - and the things we do
You can Rock the World, or sing the blues…
Yeah…
 
Well, I ain’t naïve - and I’ve been around
The daily grind, has worn me down…
I’ll never forget - the look on his face
When I told him my views, on the human race…
 
I said - “Freedom’s a term for liberties,
You just can’t do, whatever you please…
People only know you - to get what they can.
And radical ideas, just piss off the man”…
 
Well, the things we do - and the things we say
Change the world in little ways…
The things we say - and the things we do
You can Rock the World, or sing the blues…
 
And with misty eyes - he said “Bro, you’re wrong
‘Cause if you’re right, I couldn’t go on”…
Well, he turned - and walked away
I’d just changed the world, in a negative way…
 
The things we do - and the things we say
Change the world, in little ways…
The things we say - and the things we do
ROCK THE WORLD ! or sing the blues…
 
The things we do - and the things we say
Change the world, in little ways…
The things we say - and the things we do
You can Rock the World, or sing the blues…
 
The things we do - and the things we say
Change the world, in little ways…
The things we say - and the things we do
You can Rock the World, or sing the blues…
